Feel You in My Bones

What can I say about Tiesto that hasn't been said already? I am really looking ahead to Tiesto's album Kaleidoscope. I'm not typically a fan of DJ's artist albums, but this one is going to be an exception. He has managed to compile a list of guests artists that rank up there with some of my favourites. Indie darlings Tegan & Sara wrote the lyrics to Feel you in My Bones after Tiesto sent them the track. The results - epic. With other guest volcalist Kele Okereke (Bloc Party) Jónsi (Sigur Ros), Nelly Furtado, Emily Haines (Metic, Broken Social Scene) this album is going to be massive. Not too skimpy on the Canadian content either.

Home

I am appartment shopping; looking to buy my first place. I already have it decorated in my mind. I'm picturing a green feature wall.

But man this city is expensive to live in. I'm probably looking at places that I can't afford. It will be an interesting transition going from having absolutely no financial responsibilities and having complete disposable income to being cash poor.

I'll have to make some sacrafices. In this age of the internet I can see one of my sacrafices being cable television. Pretty much everything that I would want to watch is available through streaming video, downloading or on dvd. One of my favourite shows has got to be Friday Night Lights, which of course is a spin off of a pretty decent movie of the same same. Decent movie. Excellent soundtrack.

Last Night

Peter Bjorn & John played the Commodore last night. Their energy and goofy swedish rockstar personas are totally infectious and they totally threw it down last night, however, the show was way too short.

I went the the second Decemberists show a couple of weeks ago at the Vogue. They played Hazards of Love in its entirety, took a 25 minute break and then came back for a 45 minute set and a 2 song enocre. This was in addition to the opening band Blind Pilot who were excellent. Definately felt like I got my money's worth at that show (even after ending up with two extra tickets).

The PB&J show last night just seemed unecessarily short. It finished at 11:40. When they played Young Folks I thought that they were just getting into it, but that ended up being their last song of their set. The opening bad, who were absolutely terrible, played just as long as PB&J (with the exception of the encore).

I agree that they had great energy and most of their songs translate exceptionally well. I could have done without some of the older stuff which the crowd (myself included) didn't regonize in favour of more songs from Writer's Block and Living Thing.

It Takes One to Know One

I knew a girl. This song sounds good played on ukulele.

Alive

I guess thats kind of an ironic title for a post of this subject matter. A friend of mine passed away recently. He drove his car off the road. I don't know the details of the accident but based on the person I knew, I would find it hard to believe if he was impaired in any way.

We had lost touch after highschool. I went to university here. He went elsewhere. We had recently reconnected. He hadn't changed. I hope he never does.

Falling Anthem

Sometimes things just happen. You put your heart into it but in the end somethings are just out of your control. We fall, pick ourselves up, and keep going. It rarely feels right at the time. Painful even. What next? You keep moving forward and one day down the line, look back and realize that things are better off.

Nothing to Worry About

Peter Bjorn & John are back with a follow-up to their 2008 instrumental and limited edition LP Seaside Rock. Celebrating their 10th year anniversary, PB&J have released 5 quality releases since their 2002 self-title review. 2009's Living Thing boasts a darker feel to those that are most familiar with the commercially successful Young Folks from 2006's album Writer's Block. The boys from Stockholm are setting off on a North American tour this summer. No dates are scheduled yet for Canada.
